How to Improve Your Digital Marketing Strategy to Reach New Customers

Did you know that every day Google notes about 40,000 search queries per second? According to another statistic, active shoppers do a least one search a day. This means customers these days are curious and research driven. The questions you should be asking yourself now is whether your business digital marketing strategy helps you reach those customers? 

If your answer is no, it’s time to work on your strategy. Lucky for you, Google offers a lot of insight into the changing patterns and customer shopping profiles. Here are some things to consider before you put a new digital marketing strategy in place.

How to Improve Your Digital Marketing Strategy to Reach New Customers 

  • Immediacy trumps loyalty – Your business has to be right there when potential customers are looking for something.  Research shows that searches “today, tonight, open now” are becoming more popular every day. 
  • Near me searches tripled since 2015. Is your business Google listing up to date? 
  • Nearly 9 in 10 smartphone users are not certain of the specific brand they want to buy from when they begin to look at information online. This is the chance for your business to stand out. Think of an interesting business creative to grab their attention.

  • Customers are quick to judge a business online if they don’t have a good experience right away. Research shows you only have 3 seconds to make a good impression online! 
  • Customers these days are impatient and they want to access everything right away. If they can’t find your contact information with one click, you may be losing that sale. Make sure your website is mobile friendly and easy to navigate to avoid any confusion. 
  • Customers are more demanding, informed and aware. Therefore, you have to tailor your strategy to market each customer individually. 
  • Mobile strategy is a must – Google is recording more mobile than desktop searches every day. Did you know an average consumer looks at his/her phone about 70 times a day? Mobile phone changed how we interact with the world, so make sure you include a voice search and mobile-friendly website in your business digital marketing strategy.

Is Your Website on Par with Legal Compliance and User Trust?

by

legal compliance and user trust

So far, 2018 has been a big year for enforcing legal compliance (GDPR) and user trust (HTTPS), which are both critical elements to running your business online these days. The important question to ask now is: When was the last time you updated your website? 

If lately you’ve been noticing less traffic and conversions, it’s time to make changes. Without these important updates to your website’s functionality, you’re doing your own business a disservice. Here’s what you need to take care of immediately. 

 

GDPR (legal compliance) 

The sooner you get your business GDPR compliant the better.  According to this regulation approved by the EU Parliament, any company in the world that stores or processes data of people who live in the European Union needs to be in compliance with GDPR by May 25th 2018. Otherwise, you might face hefty fines – up to $24million (20m Euros) or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is higher.  

Now, how to get your business compliant with GDPR? First, assign someone on your team responsible for reading the provisions of the GDPR to fully understand the requirements and specific circumstances your business might be involved with. Then make sure all your employees are aware of the new laws.   

Bottom line is, you need to immediately update your Privacy Policy and have it visibly displayed and easily accessible on your website. See our example here.  

Next, you need to inform your online visitors of the cookies available on your website and give them a choice to opt in or out. 

It should look similar to this: 

user trust cookies 

User Trust and Data Security  

Data security has been the top concern in 2018, and it all comes down to establishing and maintaining user trust. Google Chrome announced a lot of changes to their online functionalities, especially regarding old http websites. The question is: Have you implemented the SSL Certificate on your website yet? 

What is SSL Certificate? 

According to Go Daddy, a certificate serves as an electronic “passport” that establishes an online entity’s credentials when doing business on the Web. When an Internet user attempts to send confidential information to a Web server, the user’s browser accesses the server’s digital certificate and establishes a secure connection. 

 Benefits-of-Upgrading-to-HTTPS

(what you see when you enter old http websites) 

 

In other words, if being authentic and making your customers feel well taken care of is your top priority, this update is crucial to running your business online. Trust, confidentiality, protection and better search (SEO) are some of the major benefits of upgrading your old http website to https.

Is Your HTTP Website Losing Traffic? Here’s why. 

by

http website

In the past years, security in the digital space has become a prominent concern among online creators and consumers. More recently, we’ve seen new GDPR compliance requirements as well as many Google Chrome updates issuing security warnings to those who manage an http website collecting some sort of customer data. If you’re one of the web owners who still haven’t upgraded to HTTPS, you may want to reconsider. Here’s why. 

According to Search Engine Journal, Google Chrome will show a prominent “Not Secure” message in the browser bar starting in October 2018. After October 2018 Chrome and likely all other Chrome based browsers will display enhanced security warnings that may create higher bounce rates for your site and concomitantly lower sales and conversions. 

Benefits of Purchasing a SSL Certificate  

These days, there’s nothing more important to your brand than being authentic and making your customers feel well taken care of. That is why security of their private information should be your top priority when managing your online business.  

When the SSL Certificate is implemented on your website, it establishes an online entity’s credentials for doing business on the Web. Such action promotes trust, protection, confidentiality and also, better ranking of your business in Google search. Win win! 

 

Ready to upgrade your HTTP Website?  

 

At Advertising Is Simple, we are offering implementation on every page and handling redirects for $249 until July 31, 2018 (regular price: $299). *SSL Certificate fee not included – must be purchased by the client separately. 

Have more questions about the SSL Certificate and upgrading to HTTPS? Do not hesitate to ask! We are here to help you implement any necessary changes to your website.

5 Reasons Why a Good Website Design is Important for Business Growth 

by

good website design

Did you know investing in a good website design early on is one of the smartest things a business can do? Why? Because there’s no better way to quickly inform your customers who you are, what you do and how you do it better than your competition.  

Research shows that a user/ potential customer can form an opinion about your online presence in about .05 seconds once the page loads. That means what they see online can either make or break your business! If a well-designed website is not you first and foremost marketing tool at the moment, we’re here to tell you it’s time to change that! Here’s 5 more reasons why a good website design is important for your business growth: 

 

5 Reasons Why a Good Website Design is Important for Business Growth 

 

  1.  Better Branding. In simple words, your website should act as an extension of your brand. To leave a lasting impression on your visitors, invest in a professional looking website with clear call-to-actions for potential customers. Also, keep in mind that if your web presence doesn’t transfer to a good experience on mobile devices, about 50% of your visitors will most likely think you don’t care about them. 
  2. Higher Google ranking. By creating a responsive and mobile-friendly website, you will have greater success in reaching more potential customers. Implementing SEO and creating quality content tells a search engine like Google that your website is relevant, therefore more people need to see it. Result? Higher rankings!
  3. Data-Driven Results. Use Google Analytics (for free) to learn how your users are interacting with your company’s website and then improve their experience accordingly. Trust us, your website will prove invaluable in providing data about your customers and their buying behaviors! 
  4. 24/7 Accessibility. With the help of a good website design, business owners are able to create a user-friendly and welcoming online environment where visitors can get useful information any time of the day. 
  5. Better Customer Service. One last thing to remember when it comes to a good website design is that it should be all about the user! That means easy navigation, clean layout, visible contact information, up to date links and of course, quality content. Your clientele will NOT be impressed with a dated and poor functioning website! Remember, first impression counts! 

 

As you can see, a good website design has the potential of becoming the most effective marketing and branding material your business can use.
